All members of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board announced their resignation on Wednesday, releasing a statement accusing Donald Trump’s administration of political interference in the prestigious exchange program.

The 12-member board alleged the Trump administration “usurped the authority of the Board” by denying Fulbright awards to “a substantial number of individuals” who were selected for the 2025-2026 academic year.

The board also alleged the administration is currently “subjecting” an additional 1,200 international Fulbright recipients to “an unauthorized review process and could reject more.”
